In Nagios 2.x you can force nagios to run host checks.
Nagios 2.0a1 is stable enough for us to start shipping to customers in
about a months time (it's been up and running well over two months now
at various locations and configurations), although we had to quirk it a
bit to get it to build properly the way we wanted it to.

This is a good idea even if you choose to force host checks with Nagios
2.0. Host checks serialised, while service checks are run in parallell
(how many l's should there be?).
